Barnacle Cluster Ring in Silver or Bronze, Crustacea Cirripedia III

Barnacle Cluster Ring in Silver or Bronze, Crustacea Cirripedia III

from 85.00

Inspired by the tenacious barnacle whose existence on the sea shore indicates healthy waters and vibrant intertidal community of creatures. Cast in sterling silver or brass, this ring is part of a series called Crustacea Cirripedia.

This ring is a top heavy cluster of barnacle that are inspired by the taller barnacles that grow tightly together in large clusters. The rings is a statement piece that is incredibly unique. The band is thicker allowing for it to be a heavy piece that will not disappoint the wearer.

Barnacles build their homes of calcium carbonate to withstand drastic changes in temperature, humidity and physical agitation. I create the Crustacea Cirripedia rings in order to pay homage to their solidarity and to draw strength from their sheer will to live. All rings are first hand carved in wax and then cast in metal. By hand carving the barnacles I am able to control the exact details and shapes that make the most realistic looking barnacle jewelry.

Created in the ocean state of Rhode Island, all my work is made to weather any storm and comes with my 'Till Death Guarantee' of craftsmanship.
